How would it know which one to turn off if you had multiple things on? Timer could just as easily be for add the next ingredient as it could be for stop cooking.
I'm really confused why "turn off my stove" would be the presumed functionality. Someone must've lied to them because no stoves do that. Otherwise, why would they suddenly assume that's what a timer was doing?
I've used stoves with that functionality, you can select what it applies to with a button.
Really? Who made it?
I don't know, I don't live there anymore.

I know its functionality I have never seen before on a hob or oven. Microwaves do but their timer is required to turn it on in the first place.
I can control my Samsung oven and fridge (came with the house) entirely from my phone.
I've seen that functionality on an oven (Inc mine, though I don't use it). I've never seen it on a hob before.
My oven has a cook time timer and a standard timer. The cook time ending turns off the oven while the standard one doesn't.
Oven, sure. But I've never seen a stovetop that does that.
You select the active hob and set the desired timer. Usually the timer is either limited to a single hob at once, in more premium alternatives you might be able to set one for each hob individually.
I've only ever seen this in separate cooktops though, not in stoves.
